The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West) novel Chapter 340
Abraxas
The funeral was not something that I wanted to attend. Death is inevitable. If you want to say goodbye, beside the coffin is not the place to do that. Funerals are not personal. They are a gimmick for those that believe the person is going to a better place.
Neah clings to Dane. His hand firmly clasped around hers as she leaned against him. She didn’t seem to know what to expect. Her eyes continually moved between the coffins and Dane. Maybe she had never attended one before.
Death didn’t mean everyone got a funeral and in my opinion, Jenson definitely didn't deserve one. Not after the shit he pulled.
The area is packed. Mostly Wolves who stood shoulder to shoulder.
The Lycans kept their distance. This didn't have anything to do with them and they were probably happy to not be involved.
Damien stands on the other side of Dane. He hadn’t said much since earlier. His soul is full of confusion and frustration, so I find myself waiting and watching. Wondering when he will finally tip back over into the Rogue life. That was why I was really here.
I had expected him to lose it when Dane left to find Neah. But he had just stood in one spot, watching the blood weep out of Raven's body.
Dane clears his throat and mutters a few words. He asks if anyone has anything to say and everyone’s eyes shift to Damien. They expected him to talk about his mate, to say a few heartfelt words. He gives Dane the tiniest of head shakes, barely visible to the human eye.
The coffins are lowered into the grounds, right next to their parents. Though if Dane had any sense after what had happened, he should have burned the bodies.
As they start taking it in turns to toss some dirt on top of the coffins, I catch Madison’s strong jasmine scent. It invades my head so quickly it hurts.
Glancing over my shoulder, I see her standing not too far away. Her hands are jammed into her pockets as she toes a stone on the ground. Her chestnut eyes flicker to me before she looks away again. At least she had stopped overreacting to my presence.
Well, today at least. Her emotions are more erratic than a pregnant woman who is hungry.
Her eyes snap up to mine again, she thought I had looked away. They open wider as she realises she had been caught. A pink tinge rises up her neck, quickly spreading up her whiter than white face.
She frantically looks around, but unless she runs into the forest, there is nowhere to hide on this side of the pack.
Slipping away from the funeral, I stride past her and head into the forest before she gives herself away to the entire pack.
Just as I expected, she follows me, “What are you doing Madison?” I demand when we are completely out of sight.
“I wanted to tell you that I’m not scared of you anymore!”
“Is that right?” I try not to laugh, wondering how long she had been building up the courage to tell me that. “Dane is out there, burying his siblings and you want to tell me you are no longer scared?”

Just loving how you keep trying to block me swnovels...
Hi Taylor, I found your book by accident. I really enjoy your writing, but I must admit that there’s a little more sex than I am use to, most likely because of my age 😁. I was wondering if you have released them in ebook ? I have read some of your notes to your readers and I know that you have written other books but I can’t find them in ebook format. I live in Sweden and have enjoyed reading this story as the dark nights get longer and longer. I am looking forward to re-joining Dane and Neah’s story. Thank you for sharing your marvelous talent.

Why are you ignoring the DMCA the author sent?...
I'm so glad it's being posted here, I don't have the income to pay 250 in order to unlock all the chapters. However, whenever the physical book comes out, I'll be the first to buy them. I love the story, love the way it is written (typos and all) I just cannot pay all of that money, the app is ridiculously predatory....
book 2: Bonds that bind us...
I don’t see the name of the new book. Could you please resend it?...
I think it very cool that you have trigger warnings!...
Stolen the latest chapter even though it refers to you. What a surprise!!!...
